In this highlight from The Sonic Road, Jay Buchanan discusses the artistic "reset" that led him to an underground Mojave Desert bunker for three months. Jay shares why he needed to escape the noise of the industry to focus on raw, reductive songwriting and why he chose to record mostly live with a powerhouse band in Savannah, GA.

We dive into:

The Desert Bunker: Why isolation was the key to his new sound.

Producer Trust: Working with Dave Cobb on an organic, analog-focused record.

Vinyl Talk: Why Weapons of Beauty was mastered specifically for the turntable.
